Unscruplous food manufactures and their political allies are trying to stuff doped food down the throats of the American people. Dr. Wiley has fought to stop them. For twenty-five years he has stood for pure food. Naturally the battle cry of the doped crowd 1is “Get Wiley—never mind how—but get him.” And now they think they have got him. They have waited and watched their chance for years and remember “never mind how” is a part of their slogan. Manufactures who would feed em- balmed food to millions of their fel- low countrymen—men, women and children, are not going to scruple as to how they would try to down the man who “blocked their game.” What are the great American people going to do about it? Dr. Wiley’s downfall must be &c- complished through the administra- tion. ' Will the administration dare to stand up as the champion of the manufacturers who dope the people? Will the administration dare to let the people know that they have representatives in Washington = who are willing tbo- see them fed on em- balmed food. And it the administration does|ing London. POORPOPIPO VP B¢ 9000066600666 060 ° HOW JUD LA MOURE, IN THREE DAYS’' GAME, WON PEMBINA © TOWNSITE FROM ENOS STUTSMAN ON TWO DEUCES 0 @ An old clipping of the New York are| World, date unknown, recently brought to light, tells the following interesting story of pioneer days in Dakota: Back in the ’50s, when the north- ern portion of the Territory of Da- kota was hardly more than a bleak waste of uncultivated ground, the town of Pembina was founded by Enos Stutsman. Stutsman was & man as remarkable for his eccentricities asg he was for his physical defofmity. He emigrated to North Dakota from the huckleberry districts of Connecti- cut and located in the upper Red River Valley, where he filled and proved up on 320 acres of land. It was the ‘ground on which Pembina now stands. He had the head and body of a giant, but his legs were hardly more than a foot long, and he was unable to'travel without the aid of two short and powerful crutches. He was ashrewd, calculating fel- low and soon became a recognized leader among the handful of emmi- grants who had taken up their places in his neighborhood. As a political diplomat he never had an equal in the territory. For four consecutive sessions he was chairman of the council in the upper branch of the territory legislature, and he was one of the most famous draw-poker play- ers in the territory. He numbered among his close friends a pioneer named Jud LaMoure, who owned a line of stage coaches running be- tween Grand Forks and Pembina. It was those two-men who played the best game of poker that was ever played in the territory. The game was played in the old Levee hotel in Yankfon, in 1862, and it lasted from 10 o’clock on Friday evening to 3 o’clock on Sunday morning. During its progress the people of the town assembled in the hotel and 'watched the two men as they fought like bulldogs over the pile of red, white and blue checks. The legislature was in session at the time, and as Stutsman, who was chairman of the council, refused to leave the game, that branch of the legislature adjourned until the fol- lowing Monday and the members watched the game to the finish. Early in the game Stutsman’s luck was wonderfully good, and he played with a recklessness that surprised everyone. Later on the tide turned against him, and the chips began to flow in the direction of LaMoure, who with his slouch hat pulled over his eyes, was watching every move of his opponent. Slowly and surely the chips went over to LaMoure’s side of the table, and work what trick or artifice he would he could not_turn them back. Matters went on this way until past midnight of Saturday, when Stutsman threw two $50 bills on the pile of chips in the center of the table and called a $100 bet made by LaMoure. Stutsman held a king full on queens and he felt sure the pot was his, but when LaMoure threw down his cards there were four deuces, and Stutsman, gritting his teeth, exclaimed: “Jud, I tell you what I'll do. You've won $3,800 of my money. If you'll put $3,800 with it I'll stake the townsite of Pembina against you, and will play for it in a lump to win or-loose in one deal.” The men shook hands, According to the agreement the 0@0@@@@(‘)@@@@000@00@060@0000@0000 hand was to be dedlt by E. A. Wil- lams, of Bismarck, the speaker of the house of representatives, the cards to be thrown on the table face up. When the five cards had been dealt, each man was to discard and draw, the cards being thrown wup*by the dealer as before, and when the last card had been dealt the high- est hand was to take the pot. Excitement ran = high, and ‘to prevent any trickery on his part Willlams was seated in the center of the table with his legs turned -under “him like a Turk, in the full glareof the'oil lamp that was suspended from the ceiling. friends of the two “men crowded around the table,-and Williams was threatened if he should in:any man- ner manipulate the cards so as to glve either man any advantage. Deftly Williams shuffled the ‘cards and ‘squaring them slipped one from the top of the pack and laid it down under Jud’s nose. It was a deuce. Stutsman caught the queen of spades. The next card came off and Jud caught another deuce. The four spot of spades turned up under Stuts- man’s nose and his brow wrinkled a little. - Again the cards fell and Jud placed the ace ¢f diamonds be- side his two deuces, while the jack of spades looked into Stutsman’s face. Once ‘more the dealer laid down the cards, and ‘Jud claimed the queen of clubs, while his opponent caught the ace of spades. Stutsman’s face began to brighten. He saw a possibility of catching a flush, but the next card to him was a heart. However Jud had no better'hand and held his deuces, drawing three cards. Stuts- man’s ‘friends tried to prevail upon bim to ‘draw four cards to the ace, but he wouldn’t listen to them, and discarding the heart, he ‘drew one card, hoping to fill ‘the flush. The onlookers were wild when Williams threw three.cards to Jud. They fell face up—the queen of clubs, the jack of diamonds and ten of clubs. He had not bettered his hand, and his opponent smiled grimly as he saw how severely fortune must snub him now if she failed to bring him a win- ning hand; for if he paired any of the four cards he held he must beat Jud’s chance, besides there was a possibility of his filling a flush. Jud had evidently lost hope, and he rested his arms on the table and doggedly watched Williams as he turned to Stutsman and slipped a card from the pack. All stretched their neck to catch sight of the card. It was the eight spot of clubs. The game was over. Jud had won, and as he shoved his hand over the table to Stutsmen the latter grasped it and shook it as though he had forgotten it had played havoc with his finances. Stutsman kept his word and deeded the 320 acrea of land to LaMoure. LoMoure holds much of that land to- day, although he sold a large portion of it and realized many thousands of dollars. The railroads have since given Pembina a boom, and the land that was won in 1862 by two deuces is now worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Stutsman died in 1880. He was buried in the lonely cemetery on the hillside half a mile north of Pembina. ‘The only monument to his memory is the county of Stutsman. drive out the protector of the people’s food what will the people do to the administration? ‘Would you have a spark of confi- dence in a set of politicians who would permit a few influential men to deceive you and your family to the extent that you and those you loved would be fed on filth?

The latter paid for it twice and then refused to pay again. He said he ordered it stop- ped. But the court of appeals holds that mere acceptance of the paper created a lability. It adds: “The preparation and publication of a newspaper involves much mental and physical labor as well as an outlay of money. One who accepts the pa- per by continuously taking it from the post office receives a benefit and a pleasure arising from such labor and expenditure as fully as if he had appropriated any other product of another’s labor, and by such act he must be held liable for subscrlpflan price.” An Extraordinary Family, “Lord Brokeleigh comes of an ex- traordinary family.” “I have never heard of any member of it who was an iminet statesman or a great sol- dier.” “No, but there is norecord that anyone belonging to the house of Brokeleigh ever married a cory- Phee.” Run “Breakfast Trains” “Breakfast trains” to accommodate late sleeping ‘suburbanites are being tried by some of the railroads enter- R.F. munm-m FUNERAL DIRECTOR AND EMBALMER AN you afford the risk, when you have costly and delicate prized” and fragile garments to clean, can you afford the risk of cleaning them at home or having them done where you know nothing concern- ing .the reliabilty and ex— perience of the cleaner?
